thanks for the replies...
I checked my sparks the other day..and holy S@#t!!!. they're hardcore coated with oil and carbon deposits, to the point where the electrode is almost grounded with the contact point of the spark plug

I guess its time for valve stem seals and guides to be replaced...do you think its related to that ignition coil not firing enough to the sparks to cause this oil deposit buildup on the spark plugs? or can it be related to bad timing, or perhaps that fuel pressure regulator or idle control valve..??

I really dont want to replace valve stem seals and guides...i've heard lots of stories that give mechanics nightmares about it.
